Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 512

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Let, } s=x^2+y^2 \\ & =x^2+(32-x)^2 \quad[\because x+y=32] \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{d s}{d x}=2 x+2(32-x)(-1) \\ & =2 x-2(32-x) \\ & =2 x-64+2 x \\ & =4 x-64 \\ & \end{aligned} \] For maxima or minima,…
